Introduction
The brain is a fascinating and mysterious organ, a little biological computer that dictates everything its owner does. Animal brains vary between small clusters of neurons, to the enormous and astonishingly complex brains of our own species. These 13 animals may just have the most strange and interesting brains in all the world, from spiders with brains that spill into their legs to sea squirts that digest their own brains as they grow!
